  • Dr. Luke Johnson is a dermatologist with special training in Pediatric Dermatology, though he sees both adult and pediatric patients. He believes that his role as a doctor is to advise patients (and parents) on what he thinks would be the best course of action, and the final decision should be made jointly by both physician and patient (or parent). One reason he loves taking care of children is because in treating a child, he feels that he treats the whole family. His methods to improve skin conditions include lifestyle recommendations, medicines, surgery, and laser techniques. His expertise includes common conditions, such as acne and eczema, as well as rare disorders, such as unusual birthmarks and immunodeficiency states.

    Dr. Johnson takes time with his patients and has helped us stay informed, compare treatment options and make sure my son is very comfortable before moving forward. He is working hard with our insurance company to get the best possible care.
